摘要：Water is a critical symbol for the existence of life in deep space exploration, and thus, the confirmation of the existence of liquid water on the contemporary Martian surface is important for the future studies of the hydrologic cycle and potential life on Mars. The main Mars observation system at a global scale is the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter; however, this system has several drawbacks, that is, it cannot simultaneously resolve the features narrower than a few meters and scrutinize the surface composition both physically and chemically, leading to deficient and unsophisticated aqueous activity detection. Therefore, in this study, a joint endmember extraction, spectral analysis, and subpixel mapping technique, which we refer to as a joint processing pipeline , was applied to accommodate the detailed spatial information with the composition information in the physical and chemical aspects through luxuriant spectra. The validation of the proposed joint processing pipeline is described in the experimental part, with a case study of the megadune in the Russell Crater of Mars. The experimental results not only confirm the superior performance of the proposed pipeline in the accurate mapping and retrieval of Mars surface geology but also provide spectral evidence for the confirmation that hydrated material existed in the Russell Crater.
